Hi to all fishing Folk,
Well we’re into the winter season, But those that are out there with their gear in the water are being rewarded with very nice fish, An it doesn’t matter what River or Stream you’re fishing, But work those holes they are prejucing the best strikes, Lures are doing well when used beside the big logs an on the down stream side,
The best way for doing this is From the bank, Or tether your boat in a position where you’re able to cast down along side logs an snages; Towing lures behind boat just up the river doesn’t prejuce results as well as fishing the logs an snags!!!!!
Cheers for now,
Fred
Hi to all Fisher friends, Sorry I have been a bit slack lately an have missed a couple of months as I have been checking the fishing spots out in another Country, It was Ukraine the City was called Donetsk where I went; The river there was Larger than the Murry river, But from what I found out it was fished out an mainly Carp could be caught, So guys we are really lucky here In Australia; Cod/ Yellow’s/ Catfish/ Redfine, What more could we want for!!!!!!!
Cheers for now

Hi to all Fisher friends;
I hope you all had a good long weekend’s Fishing;
The murray was running flat out an also the Edward river, This would have turned the fish off the bite, I hope there was a good reason for so much water to be let down these river’s when all our little rivers an creeks are let to dry out!!!!!!
I would be very careful of where you camp as there are a lot of tree’s dropping big limbs which could crush a whole camp site; SO Don’t be in that camp site;
Cheers for now
Take care

Hi to all fishing friends;
It’s very hot out along the rivers at this time a year, Use plenty of sun screen to protect yourselfs’
Fishing has been up an down the past couple of months, But the keen fishermen have been getting their fair share; It is hard to except the fact that some of our smaller streams have been let go to dryout to the extent that there has been thousands of fish died; Some of these fish would have taken a 100 years to reach to the size they were; Maybe with a little more care taken this may not have happened???????
Cheers for now
Fred
Hi to you all sorry about the delay in getting back to you all;
But here we are fishing back in action again, I hear some good catches were achieved as Cod Season opened this month; There has been good results in some of the smaller river’s such as the Neimar, the Edward has been very good as well, Moulamein fishing club had good weekend just gone, Every one had a great day; In the next week we hope to have Up on our Website some real keen young fisherman with their results of using Logleaper lures;
Cheers for now to all our fishing mates;

Hi to all fisher friends;
All our fishing waters in Swan Hill an surrounding district are still very low; But those fishering the holes are doing quite well with lures an bait fishing, There are some very big yellows being caught even in some of the streams that had stopped running!!, It was good to see that there had been fresh water let down most of our streams in the surrounding district, Lets hope we have better season in front of us, Like about 5 years of Wet seasons to help all concerned in this mighty part of the world !!!!
Cheers for now

Hi All,
Due to popular request, Log Leaper have brought out a signed Collectable Series. The first batch contains a set of 8 unique Log Leaper Cod Lures each of which has been handmade and signed by Fred Zass. The lures are our regular cod lures, but have a high gloss lacquer and a more even finish. There are two once-off signed regular lures that we did for a client a while back, but apart from that, getting one of these lures would mean getting one of the first signed Log Leaper Cod Lures. Who knows that might even be worth something one day.
As an added bonus, each lure has its own unique name and dedicated website. The names are a bit tongue in cheek ( I got the idea from the Stradivarius Violins, apparently each violin has its own unique name), but I have tried to link the names up to endangered Australian fish. A token gesture maybe, but a gesture nonetheless. And yes, I am aware of the irony of a fishing lure manufacturer attempting to raise awareness about fish which are under threat 
Anyway have a look at the new lures and let us know what you think of the idea.

Welcome to my Blog. I’m going to try to put up a post once a fortnight. I’ll be blogging about various topics that a typical lure manufacturer (if such a thing exists) encounters. Basically I’ll just be talking about my latest fishing trips, new innovations to my lures, and various other bits and pieces.
